I do ...I do not understand Stubborn&#39;s blogpost. I do not see how you can rate games in such a way.<br />I find it tough to determine. I guess I would judge the games culture by looking at the quests and lore. <br /><br />Collectivism and Individualism are different approaches to the same game. They are, in my opinion, heavily influenced by the culture of the people playing it.<br /><br />There is, for example, a difference between guilds like Stars (with hundreds of players working to/assisting with a common goal) and Ensidia (a more individualistic approach).<br /><br />Culture can variate WITHIN the game however. I reckon that the culture of groups depends on the culture of the people playing it. I do think that there are enough people to form groups of like minded preferences within regios. This can be enforced by guildrules.<br /><br />Stubborn does raise an interesting question. Does the participation in types of content differentiate between cultures? I wonder if the participation rate of LFR/LFD is significantly different for different regios.<br />Mytnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-13426059900830383782012-08-22T10:23:08.269-07:002012-08-22T10:23:08.269-07:00I don&#39;t know.

Especially when that group displays collectivist characteristics.<br /><br />I think it&#39;s more correct to say that it&#39;s a small collective.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-3003604975440317672012-08-22T10:17:38.680-07:002012-08-22T10:17:38.680-07:00Isn&#39;t smaller collectives Individualism (for s...Isn&#39;t smaller collectives Individualism (for self and immediate family)?<br /><br />Which means that WoW could be seen as individualist all the way through.Pangoria Fallstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148359926488188195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-58986357511053602452012-08-22T09:47:10.740-07:002012-08-22T09:47:10.740-07:00My feelings on Ayn Rand are best summed up here:
